You know what time it is — it’s the end of the week, and that means it’s time for your 10-minute edtech news briefing from a real classroom. I’m Vicki Davis, a full-time teacher, instructional tech coach, and IT director, bringing you the stories I’m actually sharing with my students this week — the prompts, tools, and questions we’re exploring in real time.

Teaching Artificial Intelligence is unlike anything we’ve done before — because it’s evolving faster than any curriculum, textbook, or PD schedule can keep up. That’s why I started sharing these weekly updates: to offer a classroom-grounded view of what’s working, what’s changing, and what needs our attention.

We need more teachers — the ones in front of students every day — adding their voices to the AI conversation. My hope is that by sharing what I see and do, I encourage you to do the same. Whether it’s in the breakroom, on social, or in a staff meeting — your insights matter. The only way we guide this well is together.

So, let’s get into this week’s filtered, teacher-tested stories: a new AI protocol that could change how we connect tools, Canva's leap into code generation, a viral badger phrase that’s surprisingly useful for teaching AI hallucinations, and a word of caution about “ChatGPT Tennis.” And I also take a moment to give a celebratory shout out to a beloved edublogging legend for many of us — Larry Ferlazzo on his retirement.
